God made 2012 ???

Having a tidy mind, I'd like to see decimal time. Might involve some minor reconfiguration of the Solar System, but it'll be much better.

Didn't the French try that after the Revolution?

and Napoleon's first act on becoming Emperor was to resume the Gregorian calendar, to which everybody reverted gratefully

Don't blame them.

Hell, no converssions from the revolutionary calendar to those used everywhere else would be a pain in the rear.

Yeah, almost as bad as if everybody used different kinds of money.

Reconfiguring the solar system? Did they?

I mean something like 100 seconds = 1 minute; 100 minutes = 1 hour; 10 hours = 1 day; 10 days = 1 week; 10 weeks = 1 month; 10 months = 1 year; 10 years = 1 decade; 10 decades = 1 century; 10 centuries = 1 millennium. The length of a second remains to be decided, but some of the system's already in place, so after a few celestial bodies get their alignments and their orbits sorted, it shouldn't involve very much change.

It's much better since we made the € roughly equivalent to the USD... it's the constant shifting that's a pain.

Once we find out the exact date of the Big Bang we can date everything from then as "Year of Entropy." So roughly 13,000,000,012. Y.E.

I believe I've posted before my suggestion that we reset the calender around the publication date of the Origin of Species...
